The Right Honourable Helen Clark was
the guest speaker at the Rainbow Dinner and Auction fundraiser held on Sunday 9
September at the Cordis Hotel Auckland. This was the first fundraising event
the Trust has held for two years and was a key part of the change early this
year when the GABA Charitable
Trust became the Rainbow
New Zealand Charitable Trust. It
was also the MOST SUCCESSFUL fund-raiser ever!
A full house of guests enjoyed outstanding LGBTI+ talent and entertainment,
and thanks to the generous support of our corporate and private sponsors and
auction donors over $40,000 was raised.
All funds are distributed back to the rainbow community via the Trust’s Grants
programme, in addition to funding Tertiary Scholarships for 4 outstanding
rainbow high-school students to support their first year at University. See images and video coverage including Helen
